# PWN::FFI
This file, using the autoload directive loads FFI modules into memory only when they're needed. For more information, see: http://www.rubyinside.com/ruby-techniques-revealed-autoload-1652.html Bindings under this namespace are *thin* — they attach functions from already-installed system shared objects (libliquid, libvolk, libfftw3f, librtlsdr, libhackrf, libSoapySDR) so PWN::SDR::Decoder::* can run MHz-rate DSP inner loops in native/SIMD code while Ruby stays in charge of orchestration. Nothing here shells out; nothing here compiles at `gem install` time. If a .so is missing the module still loads and `.available?` returns false so callers can fall back to pure Ruby.
## When to use
